Plain-English summary
Brave's terms contain several clauses that could be disadvantageous to users. They reserve the right to unilaterally change terms and services (risk_flags-1), and can terminate user access without notice if terms are not complied with, potentially leading to forfeiture of account information and no refunds for fees paid (risk_flags-2, risk_flags-3). The service is provided "as is" without any warranties, meaning all use is at your own risk (risk_flags-4). Users are required to indemnify Brave for liabilities arising from their use or misuse of the service or violation of terms (risk_flags-5), and Brave's liability for damages is significantly limited (risk_flags-6). Additionally, paid subscriptions automatically renew until canceled (cancellation_renewal-1), and purchases made via app stores may not be refundable (gotchas-1).
